God’s Upgrades . . . My Adventures
Learning to Accept and Download
Suffering looked at through the lens of the author’s life with
John Leach
the focus on positivity.
An enjoyable account of John’s life story through which
we also look at the topic of suffering and how God works
to sanctify us and put new threads into our lives, mostly
through difficult times. The emphasis is on being hope-filled
and positive about God, rather than negative about suffering. John’s thesis is that it makes hard times easier to bear
if a) we can understand that God is working on us through
them, and b) we can learn to co-operate with him rather
than being resentful and sulking. It is about lessons we
need to learn along the way, but it is also about embracing
these experiences into which God leads us.

Sun and Shield
Peter Furler Band
First album from the newly formed Pete Furler Band.
After 22 years as the main creative force behind the Newsboys, followed by his 2011 solo success On Fire, Peter
Furler could be excused if he’d decided to mellow out a bit
or rest on his laurels. Instead, the writer behind 27 No.1
radio singles has come back with one of the strongest
albums of his career Sun and Shield. Reteaming with longtime producer/lyricist Steve Taylor for the first time since
Newsboys’ gold-certified album Adoration, Sun and Shield
finds Furler and band combining an ambitious collection of
new songs with a more muscular, band-driven sound that
harkens back to the glory days of Take Me To Your Leader.

Ultimate Gift DVD
Based on the bestselling book The Ultimate Gift by Jim
Stovall, the story sends trust fund baby Jason Stevens on
an unexpected journey of discovery, having to answer the
ultimate question: ‘What is the relationship between wealth
and happiness?’
Jason had a very simple relationship with his impossibly
wealthy Grandfather, Howard ‘Red’ Stevens. He hated
him. No heart-to-heart talks, no warm fuzzies, just cold
hard cash. So of course he figured that when Red died, the
whole ‘reading of the will’ thing would be another simple
cash transaction, that his Grandfather’s money would allow him to continue living in the lifestyle to which he had
become accustomed. But what Red left him was anything
but simple. Red instead devised a plan for Jason to experience a crash course on life. Twelve tasks, which Red calls
‘gifts’, each challenging Jason in an unexpected way – the
accumulation of which would change him forever.
Directed by Michael O. Sajbel.

The Ultimate Life
The sequel (and prequel) to the award-winning The Ultimate
Gift.
Between the pressure of running a foundation started by his
late grandfather, being sued by his greedy extended family,
and seeing his beloved Alexia leave on an extended mission
trip to Haiti, Jason Stevens’ world is unravelling. But when
Jason discovers the lifelong journal his grandfather began
as a Depression-era lad, Red Stevens’ writings transport
Jason to a front-row seat on an incredible rags-to-riches
ride. With everything he loves hanging in the balance, Jason
hopes he can discover ‘the ultimate life’.
The Ultimate Life reminds us some things are worth more
than money!
